The new automatic disqualification rules

From 1 August 2018 there will be 2 key changes to the automatic disqualification rules:

an increase in the number of legal reasons that disqualify someone from acting as a trustee. The new reasons include being on the sex offenders register, and certain unspent convictions – such as for terrorism or money laundering

people who are disqualified from acting as a trustee are also disqualified from holding certain senior manager positions at a charity
